Growing Coriander Slowbolt Seed
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you grow this herb to perfection:
1. Soil Preparation
- Prepare well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.5–7.0).
- Make sure your soil is rich in organic matter to provide your plants with the nutrients they need to grow.
- You can improve soil fertility by adding compost or organic fertilizers.
2. Sowing the Seeds
Plant Coriander Slowbolt Seed 500gm directly in the prepared garden bed or container. Sow seeds at a depth of 6mm, spacing them approximately 1-2 inches apart. Regular sowing every week will ensure a continuous harvest of fresh coriander leaves.
3. Watering
Water the seeds regularly to maintain moisture levels, especially during germination. Coriander Seed 500gm seeds need consistent watering until they germinate. Once the plants are established, you can reduce watering to moderate levels, ensuring the soil does not dry out.
4. Thinning and Spacing
Once seedlings emerge, thin them out to about 20cm apart. This provides enough room for each plant to grow without overcrowding. Proper spacing ensures optimal airflow and reduces the risk of disease.
5. Sunlight and Temperature
Choose a spot that receives full or partial sunlight for at least 4–6 hours a day. The ideal temperature for coriander growth is between 18–21°C, which is perfect for both spring and autumn seasons.
6. Harvesting
The Coriander Slowbolt Seed typically matures in 45 days, but you can start harvesting the outer leaves once they are large enough. Harvesting regularly will help prevent bolting (flowering) and keep the plants productive. For continued freshness, cut leaves from the outer edges and leave the inner ones to continue growing.
